OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
Today the Board will proceed to first notice under the Illinois Administrative Procedure
Act (5 ILCS 100/1-1
et seq
. (2004)) with a rulemaking proposed by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (Agency) on December 22, 2005. The Agency proposes amendments to Parts
218 and 219 of the volatile organic material (VOM) rules to allow for the use of add-on controls
as a compliance option for operations using cold cleaning solvent degreasing. The proposed
amendments affect cold cleaning degreasing operations located in the Chicago and Metro-East
ozone nonattainment areas.
BACKGROUND
Solvent cleaning, or degreasing as it is commonly called, is a process using aqueous
liquids or non-aqueous organic solvents to clean and remove soils from surfaces. Proposal
(Prop.) at 2. Solvent cleaning is divided into three major types: cold cleaning; open-top vapor
degreasing; and conveyorized degreasing.
Id
. Evaporation of the solvent used during degreasing
results in VOM emissions that react with other pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and carbon
monoxide to form ozone.
Id
.
In 1997, as a part of the 9% Rate of Progress (ROP) plan, the Board adopted control
measures proposed by the Agency to reduce VOM emissions for cold cleaning degreaser
operations in the Chicago and Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. Prop. at 3. These
measures, which are codified at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.182 and 219.182, lowered the allowed
solvent vapor pressure for operations in the Chicago and Metro-East areas to 2.0 millimeters of
mercury (mmHg) by 1999 and 1.0 mmHg by 2001.
Id
. The Agency estimated that the
implementation of the lower vapor pressure would result in a VOM emission reduction of 11.35
tons per day by 1999 and an additional 11.68 tons per day by 2001. The 1997 ROP regulations
do not allow the use add-on controls for cold cleaning degreasers as an alternative to complying
with the solvent vapor limit.
Diversapack, a printing company that recycles its solvents in a totally enclosed parts
washer and uses add-on controls for the abatement of process emissions, contacted the Agency in
May 2003, regarding a possible variance from the vapor pressure limits at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

 
2
218.182(c). Prop. at 2. Diversapack uses solvents compatible with its printing operations, but
which do not meet the current vapor pressure requirements.
Id
. The Agency identified three
additional point sources in the Chicago area that use add-on controls plus solvents that do not
meet the lower vapor pressure limits.
Id.
In lieu of the site-specific rulemakings for each of the identified facilities, the Agency is
proposing revisions to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218 and 219. Prop. at 2. Specifically, the Agency
proposes revising Sections 218.182 and 219.182 to allow for add-on controls or equivalent
alternative control plans as compliance options, as well as additional revisions concerning
solvent sale, solvent use, add-on control testing, and recordkeeping requirements.
Id
. at 3.
The Agency notes that currently an 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) is in effect for the Chicago and the Metro-East areas, designating each as a moderate
ozone nonattainment area. Prop. at 3. This 8-hour ozone NAAQS replaced the previous 1-hour
standard on June 15, 2005. However, given that the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) has a policy against regression, the control measures adopted to meet the 1-
hour standard must still be maintained.
Id
. at 4. Further, under the federal Clean Air Act and the
USEPA State Implementation Plan (SIP), failure to obtain equivalent emissions reductions from
the cold cleaning sources would require the Agency to make up the deficiency through the
implementation of contingency control measures.
Id
. at 3-4. In this regard, according to the
Agency, USEPA has indicated that the 95% control level proposed here is sufficient for this
emissions source category.
Id
. at 4.
Two hearings were held before Board Hearing Officer John Knittle. The first hearing
was held on April 19, 2006, in Chicago (Tr.1). The second hearing was held on May 17, 2006,
in Edwardsville (Tr.2). During those hearings, the Board heard the testimony of Gary E.
Beckstead from the Agency’s Bureau of Air. In addition, the Board has received two public
comments in this proceeding.
As required by Section 27(b) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS
5/27(b) (2004)), the Board requested that the Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity (DCEO) conduct an economic impact study (EcIS) on this rulemaking. The Board’s
EcIS request, dated February 22, 2006, was placed in this rulemaking’s docket. DCEO did not
respond to the Board’s request. At the second hearing, the hearing officer noted the Board’s
EcIS request to DCEO and DCEO’s lack of response, affording anyone the opportunity to testify.
No one testified about DCEO’s lack of response. Tr.2 at 5-6.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Agency’s proposal, as amended by Agency
errata
sheets 1 (ES1) and 2 (ES2), seeks
to revise the Board’s cold cleaning degreaser rules applicable to facilities in the Chicago and
Metro-East ozone nonattainment areas. The proposed revisions would allow the use of add-on
controls as an alternative to using solvents with vapor pressure of 1.0 mmHg or less. Likewise,
the proposal also would allow the use of an equivalent alternative control plan to comply with
the control measure requirements. In addition, the proposal would provide the testing procedures
and recordkeeping requirements for add-on controls and equivalent alternative controls.

3
While the proposal would make parallel changes to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 218.182(c) and (d)
and 219.182(c) and (d), only changes to Section 218.182 are described in this summary. Prop. at
5. The Agency’s proposal seeks to add a new subsection at Section 218.182(c)(3)(A) that would
allow the sale of solvents with vapor pressure greater than 1.0 mmHg in units greater than five
gallons, but only if the purchaser provides a copy of a valid state or federal construction or
operating permit or a copy of a
Federal Register
notice demonstrating that the source is in
compliance with the add-on control requirements, or is exempt.
Id.
The proposed provision at
Section 218.182(c)(3)(B) would allow the operation of a cold cleaning degreaser using a solvent
with a vapor pressure greater than 1.0 mmHg, but only if the source is in compliance with the
add-on control requirements or is exempt.
The proposal would set forth control requirements for add-on controls at Section
218.182(c)(4). Prop. at 5. Subsection (c)(4)(A) would require sources using solvents with vapor
pressures greater than 1.0 mmHg but less than 56 mmHg to control their emissions to an overall
capture and control efficiency of no less than 95%.
Id
. at 6; ES2. The requirements for
equivalent alternative emissions control plans would be set forth at Section 218.182(c)(4)(B).
These requirements would stipulate that emissions from a solvent with a vapor pressure of 1.0
mmHg shall be the basis for assessment of equivalent emissions for any proposed control plan.
Further, if used as an equivalent alternative control plan, an add-on control must have at least
95% reduction in VOM emissions. Prop. at 7; ES2.
Provisions would also be added mandating the testing of add-on controls at Section
218.182(c)(4)(C). Prop. at 7. Currently operating add-on controls would have to be tested by
March 1, 2007, and newly constructed add-on controls would have to be tested within 90 days
after startup.
Id
. The testing procedures, monitoring, and recordkeeping provisions for add-on
controls and equivalent alternative control plans would be consistent with the provisions in
Section 218.105 and Section 219.105, which require that the control devices be operated and
maintained at the manufacturer’s specifications and continuously monitored to assure that they
are operating at the required compliance levels. Finally, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements applicable to the operation of add-on controls would be set forth under Section
218.182(d). All records would have to be kept for a minimum of three years.
Id
.
The Agency’s proposal, including its statement of reasons, is available through the
Clerk’s Office in Chicago (312-814-3620) and on the Board’s Web site (
www.ipcb.state.il.us
)
using the Clerk’s Office On-Line or “COOL.”
TESTIMONY
At the hearings, the Board received testimony from Agency witness Gary E. Beckstead.
1
Beckstead is the Manager of the Regulatory Unit in the Air Quality Planning Section of the
Agency’s Bureau of Air. Beckstead at 1. He has worked in the field of regulatory rulemakings
with Agency since 1991. Beckstead holds a Bachelor of Ceramic Engineering degree from
1
The Agency prefiled the written testimony of Beckstead on March 13, 2006 (cited as
“Beckstead at _”) and his supplemental testimony on May 12, 2006 (cited as “Supp. Test. at _”).

4
Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Master of Science degree in Applied Earth Sciences from
Stanford University.
Id.
Beckstead was involved in the development of the Agency’s proposed
amendments and was responsible for preparing the Agency’s Technical Support Document,
which was included as an exhibit to Beckstead’s March 13, 2006 prefiled testimony.
Id.
Beckstead testified that the proposed provisions for add-on controls would result in less
VOM emissions than if solvents meeting the currently required vapor pressure limits were used.
Beckstead at 2. According to Beckstead, meeting the control efficiency level recommended in
the proposed amendments will assure the integrity of the 1999 – 2002 ROP Plan and will prevent
the need for contingency measures to be implemented to makeup for any emission reduction
deficiencies, as required by the federal Clean Air Act as amended in 1990.
Id.
Four cold cleaning sources, Beckstead stated, were identified in the 2003 annual
emissions reports data as using solvents with vapor pressures greater than the 1.0 mmHg limit.
Beckstead at 4. He noted that all four are in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area and all of
them are capturing 100% of their cold cleaning emissions and controlling the emissions to at
least a 95% level.
Id.
Elaborating, Beckstead testified that in May 2003, the Agency was contacted by
Diversapack, a printing source located in the Chicago nonattainment area, which was interested
in obtaining a variance to use solvents with vapor pressures of 55.19 mmHg and a control system
with overall capture and control of 98%. Diversapack also informed the Agency that its sister
company, Printpack, is using a similar solvent and control system. Beckstead at 5. Through an
inventory search, the Agency identified two additional sources that were also using add-on
controls and solvents with vapor pressures greater than 1.0 mmHg.
Id.
Based on this
information, the Agency decided that a revision to the cold cleaning regulations was more
practical and a better use of resources than having each of these sources seek individual
variances from the Board.
Id.
Beckstead testified that costs and inefficiencies would occur if the impacted sources were
required to convert to the low-vapor pressure solvents. Beckstead at 6. He asserted that quality
problems in printing and varnishing processes would be prevalent, increased waste would be
created, and more supplemental fuel would be needed to operate the add-on controls.
Id.
Beckstead testified that the Agency believes that the proposed control level of 95% is reasonable
and economically feasible for sources wishing to use add-on controls as an option to the solvent
vapor pressure limits.
Id
. at 7-8. He testified that the four identified sources using add-on
controls are in compliance with the proposed option, which he stated would eliminate the need
for them to file variance petitions with the Board.
Id.
Further, he testified that the emissions
from sources using add-on controls and solvents with vapor pressures greater than the prescribed
limit are less than if the sources used solvents with the prescribed vapor pressures and no add-on
controls.
Id.
He asserted that the proposed changes to the cold cleaning regulation have been
reviewed by the impacted sources and USEPA and have been found acceptable by them.
Id.
In his supplemental prefiled testimony submitted on May 12, 2006, Beckstead stated that
the Agency will assess pollution prevention control measures on equal footing with any other
proposed equivalent alternative control measures. Supp. Test. at 9. Beckstead testified that if

 
5
VOM emissions to the atmosphere are equal to or less than using 1.0 mmHg vapor pressure
materials, the proposed pollution prevention control measure will be approvable by the Agency,
and that there is no formal requirement in the proposed revisions that pollution prevention
control measures be evaluated
. Id
.
Beckstead also testified that the Agency does not require sources to demonstrate cost
effectiveness via studies for control measures that they are planning to implement, but that the
Agency assesses the source’s compliance with the regulations and determines if the source is
meeting the proposed emission limits. Supp. Test. at 10.
Beckstead stated that the Agency is proposing: (1) that existing add-on controls be
considered those operating before November 30, 2006; (2) that existing add-on controls be tested
by March 1, 2007; and (3) that new add-on controls be considered those constructed on or after
November 30, 2006; and (4) that new add-on controls be tested within 90 days after initial start-
up. Supp. Test. at 10-11. In its May 12, 2006 second supplemental statement, and at the second
hearing, the Agency asserted that it does not intend the proposal to be retroactive, and that this
position is reflected in
errata
sheet number two. Supplemental Statement 2 at 1; Tr.2 at 23.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Two public comments were filed in this rulemaking: the Illinois Environmental
Regulatory Group (IERG) filed a comment in support of the proposal (PC 1) on June 14, 2006;
and the Agency filed a post-hearing comment (PC 2) on June 15, 2006. The comments are
summarized below.
IERG
IERG is a not-for-profit Illinois corporation comprised of 55 member companies engaged
in industry, commerce, manufacturing, agriculture, trade, transportation, or other related
activities regulated by governmental agencies that promulgate, administer, or enforce
environmental laws, regulations, rules, or other policies. PC 1 at 1. IERG asserts that a number
of IERG member companies conduct activities governed by the regulations set forth in 35 Ill.
Adm. Code Parts 218 and 219
. Id.
IERG asserts that it reviewed the proposed rulemaking in this proceeding and raised a
few minor points of clarification with the Agency that have subsequently been addressed in
Agency
errata
sheets. With those clarifications, IERG believes that the proposed amendments to
the cold cleaning degreaser requirements should be adopted. PC 1 at 2. IERG asserts that this
proposed rulemaking rightly restores the option of add-on controls and adds the equivalent
alternative control plan option, while remaining consistent with the intent of the 1997 revisions
to reduce VOM emissions in the nonattainment areas.
Id
. at 3.
Finally, IERG opines that the compliance options provided by this rulemaking are
justified historically, environmentally, technically, and economically. PC 1 at 5. Therefore,
IERG urges the Board to adopt the proposed revisions to the cold cleaning requirements.
Id
.

The Agency
In response to the Board’s questions pertaining to outreach to solvent retailers during the
first hearing held on April 19, 2006, the Agency asserts that it conducted an additional outreach
effort directed towards retailers of solvent. At the request of the Board, the Agency reports that
the May 15, 2006 outreach effort resulted in one association requesting to be added to the
Agency’s mailing list for future related proposed rulemakings. PC 2 at 1. With the Agency’s
public comment, the Agency also moved to correct the second hearing’s transcript. The Board
grants that unopposed motion.
DISCUSSION
The Board has held two days of public hearings and received substantial testimony and
public comments on this proposal. The entire record, including the additional language changes
suggested by the Agency, has been evaluated. The first-notice proposal adopted by the Board
today reflects the Board’s consideration of all the comments and testimony the Board has
received.
The information presented by the Agency indicates that in the cases of both add-on
controls and equivalent alternative control plans, the Agency is proposing additional options to
supplement the technically feasible low vapor pressure solvent requirement already in place.
The Board agrees with the Agency’s assertion that the technical feasibility of add-on controls for
point source cold cleaning degreasers is already being demonstrated.
In addition, by allowing the use of add-on controls, waste can be minimized as solvent
may be reused. In printing operations, the clean-up solvents from the closed-loop parts cleaners
are recycled for use in the printing process or for additional clean-up, reducing solvent waste,
solvent purchases, and operating costs. Technical Support Document (TSD) at 13. The Board
concurs with the Agency’s assertion in its TSD that requiring the impacted printing sources to
use low vapor pressure solvents would result in the generation of additional hazardous waste,
product quality issues, and inefficiencies.
Id
. at 14.
The economic reasonableness analysis indicates that add-on controls coupled with closed
loop automatic parts washers offer cost benefits comparable to converting to low vapor pressure
solvents for some cold cleaning operations. Using data supplied by the four impacted sources,
the estimated cost effectiveness of using thermal oxidizers as an add-on control is between $115-
$562 per ton of VOM reduced. The cost effectiveness of lowering the solvent vapor pressure
limits to 1.0 mmHg was estimated to be in the range of $238 to $779. TSD at 14.
Further, the Board agrees with the Agency that additional costs and inefficiencies would
occur if these existing sources are required to use the low vapor pressure solvents. The
additional costs would include the higher cost of low vapor pressure solvents and waste disposal
costs. For example, using low vapor pressure solvent that could not be reused in other plant
operations would result in additional waste disposal costs of an estimated $161,000 per year in
the case of Diversapack. In addition, Diversapack estimates that using a lower vapor pressure
solvent would result in further solvent costs of $1,100,000 per year.

7
The testimony provided by Beckstead at the April 19, 2006 hearing indicates that the
emissions from sources using add-on controls for solvents with vapor pressures
greater
than the
currently required limit would be less than the emissions that would result if the sources used
solvents with the currently required vapor pressures (and no add-on controls). Tr.1 at 10. Thus,
these proposed amendments provide a benefit to the environment as well.
Finally, on May 4, 2006, after two public hearings, the Board in consolidated rulemaking
docket R04-12/20 adopted other Agency-proposed amendments to Parts 218 and 219, finding
them both technically feasible and economically reasonable. The rule changes, which became
effective on May 15, 2006, were designed to clarify, correct, streamline, and update numerous
provisions of the air pollution control rules.
See
Clean-Up Part III Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm.
Code Parts 211, 218, and 219, R04-20, Technical Corrections to Formulas in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
214 “Sulfur Limitations”, R04-12 (cons.) (May 4, 2006). Among those revisions, the Board
adopted the following amendments to the “paper coating” note at Sections 218.204(c) and
219.204(c):
Note: The paper coating limitation shall not apply to any owner or operator of any paper
coating line on which
flexographic or rotogravure printing is performed if the paper
coating line complies with the emissions limitations in Subpart H: Printing and
Publishing, Section 218.401 [219.401] of this Part. In addition, screen printing on paper
is not regulated as paper coating, but is regulated under Subpart TT of this Part.
At second notice of the R04-12/20 rulemaking, the Board stated:
IEPA proposed the revisions to the note under “paper coating” in Sections
218.204(c) and 219.204(c). The Board observes that the same paper coating note
also appears in Parts 218 and 219, Appendix H, however, no revisions were
proposed for those notes. Those appendices were therefore never opened in this
rulemaking. This appears to be an oversight. Because this rulemaking is
proceeding today to second notice, the Board is not in a position to now open any
rule sections that were not part of the first-notice publication. In the interest of
administrative economy, the Board will propose amending the notes to these
appendices in another pending air rulemaking filed by IEPA that has not yet been
to first notice: R06-21,
Organic Material Emissions Standards and Limitations for
the Chicago and Metro-East Areas: Proposed Amendments to 35 Adm. Code 218
and 219.
See
Clean-Up Part III Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Parts 211, 218,
and 219, R04-20, Technical Corrections to Formulas in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 214
“Sulfur Limitations”, R04-12 (cons.) (Mar. 2, 2006).
Accordingly, to ensure consistency with the already-amended “paper coating” note at Sections
218.204(c) and 219.204(c), the Board now proposes for first notice those previously omitted
amendments to the “paper coating” note at Appendix H in Parts 218 and 219. In support, the
Board on its own motion incorporates by reference the R04-12/20 record into this R06-21
proceeding.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.306.

 
8
CONCLUSION
The Board finds that the Agency’s proposal, as amended by Agency
errata
sheets 1 and
2, is technically feasible and economically reasonable. The Board makes several minor,
clarifying changes to the Agency’s proposed rule language, none of which merit discussion. As
discussed above, the Board also proposes amendments to the “paper coating” note at Appendix
H in Parts 218 and 219, which amendments were inadvertently not made in R04-12/20.
The Board will proceed to first notice with the proposal. The Board will accept
additional public comments for at least 45 days from the date on which this first-notice proposal
is published in the
Illinois Register
.
ORDER
The Board directs the Clerk to cause first-notice publication of the following proposed
amendments in the
Illinois Register
. Proposed additions to Parts 218 and 219 are underlined;
proposed deletions appear stricken.
